Joy Behar wondered on The View yesterday if describing the day after Thanksgiving as “Black Friday” was actually racist – and Whoopi Goldberg told her it wasn’t.
Behar: Isn’t it a little racist to call it Black Friday?
Goldberg: Well, I would have called it African American Friday, but I feel that’s taking something away from it.
Behar: But there’s a negative connotation to it? Or does it mean something else?
Goldberg: No, it’s like when you make all the money. You’re in the black.
She says, "But there's a negative connotation to it".
Why would she assume that? What's negative about it calling it Black Friday....nothing....unless you think the word "Black" is a negative word and then that it also makes it racist as well.
This is my problem with people trying to be overly politically correct.....in this case it's racism. She's being racist and doesn't even realize it....she's showing her racism when she makes the assumption she does and then asks about it whether she wrong. When Whoopi explains to her that she's wrong and what it means, she doesn't explain to her she's wrong by automatically thinking the word "Black" implies something negative. She'll just go the way she is, not realizing racism is about the way she views things and continue to judge others for being racist because of the way she assumes they must be thinking (like her).
Her heart may not be racist but, her mind still is and her heart is not letting her realize it.
